Millions of reasons to read and enjoy the Essex Library…one at a time.

Louis Raymond, Landscape Designer, In His Glory

June 6, 2011

Louis Raymond, Rhode Island and New York’s celebrated landscape designer was among this year’s speakers in the Centerbrook Architects Lecture Series hosted by the Essex Library Association. Louis’ talk was titled “Putting Everything In Perspective; Formality In Your Garden”. Giving amateur gardeners everywhere license to make more of their landscapes formal, Louis inspired the audience with eye-popping slides and very amusing anecdotes.

Louis launched a new website, Louis The Plant Geek, recently. It’s extremely informative AND entertaining, as one would expect. We highly recommend the short videos which not only exhibit Louis’ boundless knowledge of plants but also his ‘grounded’ sense of humor. You can find it here.
